narrow escape from death yesterday.
Sheriff S. G. Wilson'S little boy was
handling shotgun. He did not know it

and the contents passed through door
into Miss Martin room, slightly inluring
her foot and ankle, fortunately doing her
no serious damage.
John Powell, an Irishmsn aged about
forty years, was found on the lower edge
of Mound prairie, near Old river, in a
helpless condition. he was brought to
town on Sunday and put in the Jail. DR..

Mark Twain's First Lectu re.

fFUW Ute touH FTtftCtSCO Examiner.
Twenty five years ago, when first went
TO Carson" said a well known gentleman of
that city yesterday at a downtown hotel.
MARK Twain was just beginning to come
to the front as hunorist He was quiet,
gentlemanly sort of fellow, who could tell
"A good story aud take his liquid potations
with the boys and not show it much, even
If he would drink ali day.
I'm those early days most any sort of an
entertainment brought out a big crowd,
and when il was announced one day that
Mark was TO deliver lecture for the benefit
of something or other at the Episcopal
church, it was understood from the start
that there would be perfect crush
well Mark assembled the steps into the
pulpit about 8 o'clock, there being a whole
lot of the boys and young women, friends
of his, as we'll as a good many old people in
front. Mark made very polite bow and
then unfolded a gigantic roll of brown pa
per. People thought at first it was a big
map, but it turned out to be his lecture
written on great sheets of grocers' brown
paper with an ordinary grocers marking
brush. After his bow he turned his back
around 10 the audience and craned his head
up to the lamp and thus read from the big
sheets, ms though it would be impossible for
HIM TO see any other way.
THE lecture was on The Future of Ne
vada' and was the funniest thing / ever
heard He prophesied the great era of
prosperity that was before us and sought TO
encourage ms residents Of the sagebrtish re-
gion by foretelling whnt appeared 10 be
Goconda, like tales of impossible mineral
discoveries. Right on the heels of IL, how
ever, came the marvellous discoveries of
Virginia City, and then we thought he
wasn't ~ far Off I'm his humorous prcdic-
lions. Many time have thought Of that
lecture Of Mark Twain. II ought to have
been published. have READ all his books
aud ] never saw. anything In any Of them
better than thisp
